With stats from over 6780 rounds, Shot Scope’s shot tracking technology reveals where amateur players lose, and gain, shots at this week’s Open venue.
With over half a million shots recorded on the St Andrews’ links, Shot Scope’s technology reveals where amateur players play from the most, the toughest and easiest holes on the course, and how the Old Course ranks against other Open venues.

While many might regard the Old Course as being too easy for today’s pros, for mere mortals, it still poses a real challenge. Both Royal Troon and Royal St George’s have a lower scoring average than the Old Course, with this week’s venue recording an average score of 83.2 for mere mortals.
